The Five Factor Model describes personality using five broad dimensions: Openness to Experience, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. These traits are considered to capture the essential elements of human personality.

Professor Ed Dutton, aka The Jolly Heretic, is an Evolutionary Psychology Researcher. In this podcast we discuss the five factor model from an evolutionary perspective, looking at the different traits, the development of personality, how they can change over time, social groups, partner selection etc. Ed also outlines the characteristics of NPD and BPD through the model.

There was so much in our conversation I'll be uploading it in two parts, so stay tuned for more from our discussion.

Psychopaths can be charming and charismatic, often making a strong initial impression. They use their charm to manipulate others and control their partners. They may lie frequently and convincingly, using deception to create a facade that hides their true nature.

Common characteristics include being callous and having a disregard for the safety of others. They can be quite parasitical, impulsive and engage in anti social behaviours.

It can be part of the the Dark Tetrad which consists of narcissism, psychopathy, Machiavelliansim and Sadism. People with these traits often create environments and relationships based on fear, conflict and instability.

This podcast looks at the psychopathy element of the tetrad and how it co occurs with the other traits.

Machiavellianism is characterised by being manipulative, duplicitous and having a willingness to deceive and exploit others for personal gain. The word comes from Italian philosopher Niccolò Machiavelli, who wrote the 'The Prince' in the 1500s, which encourages “the end justifies the means” behaviour. Someone who is machiavellian is cunning, sneaky and lacks a moral code.

This podcast looks at Machiavellianism in the context of The Dark Tetrad, which also consists of psychopathy, narcissism and sadism, outlining the nature of Machiavellian behaviour in the context of the other three also co occuring.

Although sadistic personality in no longer part of the DSM there has been recent renewed interest in research, particularly as a component of the Dark Tetrad, which also contains traits of psychopathy, narcissism and Machiavellianism.

This podcast looks at the sadistic side of the Dark Tetrad and gives examples of how it manifests when co-morbid with the other traits.

If you've spent anytime on social media at some point you've interacted with a Troll. These are people who can be rude, disrespectful and sometimes even threatening. But who are they? What motivates someone to be antagonistic towards complete strangers?

In this podcast I discuss different kinds of trolls from the pest, to those who are desperate for any kind of attention, to those who are threatening and sadist. I look at the different motivations behind their behaviour and the motivations involved.
